Seanie Murphy

Seanie died in mid life unexpectedly and young He was a nice and gentle fellow who had a civil tongue For his mother Margaret and his siblings and his nephews and nieces this a sorrowed cross And his many friends too they will grieve at his loss. In Cloghoulabeg never to be seen again But in all of those who knew him fond memories will remain Of a likeable fellow untainted by conceit He now is at rest amongst the dead of Millstreet. A credit to Cloghoulabeg his beloved Homeplace At the Murphy family gatherings his will be a missed face But if there is a hereafter no need for him to pray His soul will be up there in heaven today. He was such a good person in every way And respect to his memory we ought to pay To the scythe of the Reaper we are destined to fall And death is a certainty for one and all.
